The Southern Idaho Solid Waste District (SISW) does not accept bulk hazardous waste. A bulk container is any container 25 gallons or larger, made of steel or plastic, and used for shipping or storage of bulk materials. Bulk containers are generally used in commercial and industrial applications to transport or store hazardous waste. SISW accepts empty bulk containers meeting the requirements below.

1. Bulk containers must be emptied, rinsed, and residue-free.
2. Caps and bungs must be removed from lids, drains, and breather ports.
3. Bulk containers must be punctured in a minimum of two areas to ensure they can’t contain any liquids. (May also be cut in half or crushed to satisfy this requirement)
4. All bulk containers brought to the SISW facilities will be inspected for hazardous waste, and additional requirements may be imposed.
5. A heavy equipment fee may be charged if drums need to be loaded back on the vehicle or set aside due to customers not following this policy.
6. Barrels and other containers that have been used specifically for burning garbage will be accepted as long as the container is free of ash.
